===Origin===

===Origin===

Luvdisc is based on the {{wp|Discus (fish)|discus fish}} and certain other species of fish that appear to kiss each other (such as the {{wp|kissing gourami}}). It is shaped like a {{wp|Heart (symbol)|heart symbol}}. Its {{shiny}} colors may be a reference to having a heart of gold, which signifies a person or being completely without malice, whose nature is loving or caring.

Biology

Physiology

Luvdisc are pink fish Pokémon that are shaped much like a heart. Their lips and cheeks are a lighter shade of pink.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like most fish Pokémon, Luvdisc is much more maneuverable in the water than on land. It is also able to confuse would-be attackers with Sweet Kiss and Attract. A Luvdisc can point in the direction of its mate, like a compass. When two Luvdisc kiss, they can bond together and flutter like wings.

Behavior

Luvdisc is often seen in groups, where they either have competitions as to who can jump the highest or try to attract mates.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Wallace has a Luvdisc nicknamed Elizabeth in Pokémon Adventures. She's usually shown out of her Poké Ball, floating along beside him. Wallace relies on her to solve problems, apparently, as she is shown doing such things as putting out a burning scarf and releasing a Lileep and Anorith to test Ruby's worth at Wallace's request. Also, the two seem to share a bond, as he rarely, if ever, has to specify what he wants her to do. Like all of Wallace's Pokémon in the manga, she is incredibly beautiful and was able to defeat all of Ruby's top Contest Pokémon (excluding Mimi) in an unofficial Contest in a matter of minutes.

Wallace's mentor, Juan, also uses a couple of Luvdisc, who assist him in mentally training Ruby and Sapphire.

Trivia

In the Generation V sprites, the circles on Luvdisc's cheeks have been changed from white to pink, matching its official artwork.
